expertreviews‘s review Edit

Great features and excellent image quality make this a very good, if rather pricey, compact camera.

DigitalCameraReview‘s review Edit

Nikon's latest entry in the ultrazoom class is a capable instrument that can stand toe-to-toe with its competitors in most categories. AF acquisition time, shutter lag, image quality, color and ISO performance are all on a par with the other guys. Well, image quality is on a par, up to a point. Our demo P90 produced noticeable chromatic aberration on some telephoto shots under admittedly horrendous conditions.

reghardware‘s review Edit

When you think how much it would cost to buy a set of lenses that gave you as much versatility as the zoom offered by the P90, then the this camera offers very good value for money. The problem is that while there is much to like about the P90, there is also a lot to dislike, including a clunky user interface and some less than startling results. We think inside the P90 is a good superzoom camera struggling to get out, and if Nikon can address some of the issues we’ve raised, it will break free.

PC Advisor‘s review Edit

Given plenty of light, we were able to achieve bright, detailed shots with the Nikon Coolpix P90. We also liked its large LCD screen and innovative distortion correction and Best Shot Selector. We were less keen on the results when lighting conditions were imperfect or when we wanted to make full use of its 24x zoom.

ephotozine‘s review Edit

I still think there's room for improvement in image quality especially in colour fringing and noise control. That said, I mentioned the P80 as the camera for everyone and that wasn't strictly true. It wasn't perfect for low level photographers and now the P90 has covered that base as well.

PhotographyBLOG‘s review Edit

The Nikon Coolpix P90 is an almost kind of camera, offering an attractive overall package but ultimately falling short in certain key areas when compared to its main rivals. The 24x zoom lens is the main highlight, stretching all the way from 26mm wide-angle to 624mm telephoto, but it doesn't quite match up to the 26x zoom of the Olympus SP-590UZ. The new tilting screen allows you to hold the camera above your head or by your waist and still get well-composed shots, but it's not as versatile as the Canon PowerShot S1 IS's vari-angle LCD.

Digital Trends‘s review Edit

The Coolpix P90 will zoom to practically the ends of the Earth, and capture quality photographs...

Pocket-lint‘s review Edit

We got some great results without too much tinkering at the wider ends of the lens, with good sharp images and natural colour reproduction. The tilting screen is highly effective making it possible to grab great perspective shots without the normal hassle. You'll also find many of your normal compact camera niceties here, like blink detection and face auto focus.

Steve's Digicams‘s review Edit

If you are looking for the biggest zoom possible without the expense of a dSLR and large lenses, look no further. With a 24x optical zoom and Optical VR stabilization, this is the way to go. Another feature you will not see on too many other cameras is the tilting screen, making it easier to shoot in some difficult situations.

LetsGoDigital‘s review Edit

There is a significant amount of mega-zoom cameras available to the consumer. The Nikon Coolpix P90 must therefore really distinguish itself from the masses. Moreover; the expectations of a "real" Nikon camera are often higher than average. There is no shortage of advanced innovative imaging solutions for this camera. From smart portrait features to an auto scene recognition system; you'll find it all on the Nikon P90.

www.trustedreviews.com‘s review Edit

The Nikon Coolpix P90 is a superb camera, certainly one of the best super-zoom bridge cameras on the market, with plenty to appeal to the enthusiast while still retaining some ease of use for the novice. It is attractively and sensibly designed, extremely well made, performs well and produces excellent image quality. It may be relatively expensive, but you certainly get a lot for your money.

Camera Labs‘s review Edit

Viewed in isolation, Nikon’s COOLPIX P90 is a fairly decent camera. It features one of the longest optical zoom ranges on the market, a large tilting monitor for creative composition, and a number of neat gadgets in addition to simply feeling good in your hands. If it were the only super-zoom camera you'd used of the current crop, you could be pretty happy with it.

The Imaging Resource‘s review Edit

Long zooms are making a comeback with new models from nearly every major manufacturer this year, some even breaking the 20x barrier. Kodak, Pentax, and Nikon have broken out with 24x lenses, Nikon's being the Coolpix P90. Its small, tight build feels good and high quality, with a good grip and simple controls. But its the lens, with its 26-624mm zoom range that really makes using the Nikon P90 so fun. We also liked the P90's automatic switching to Macro mode.

infoSync World‘s review Edit

We took Nikon's 24x optical zoom monster for a walk in the park. Is there more to this compact camera than maddening magnification? Read the in-depth Nikon Coolpix P90 review here.

CNET Reviews‘s review Edit

While the Nikon Coolpix P90 brings its performance up to speed with the rest of its class, it now falls behind in photo quality.
